preston, permit me space to say that on
ships like H. B. NJ. S. Conquest to which
chaplain is appointed the Church
service is never omitted on Sunday
morning, so that there is no occasion Tor
the captains to send their men ashore to
church, nor have the captains OF such
ships been in the habit of doing so in by
gone days, as the paragraph asserts.
Where, then, is this grievous change ]"
which the writer deplores?

Middlebury College in 1899. He was
admitted to the bar in 1913 and prac-
ticed law with considerable success at
ST. Adams, Vt, from that date till
1850. In 1916 he published o poem
entitled Progress A Satire" The
following year his Grape of the
Lock" appeared. Between 1913 and
1856 two poems, "The Proud Miss Nc
Bride and 1.-The Times" brought him
into prominence. In 1850 he removed
TO Burlington, Vt, where for five years
he successfully edited the Sentinel. After
this time he devoted himself to litera-
ture and lecturing. He was popular i'll
his own State, where he held Office as
States attorney and deputy collector OF
customs. Atone time he was the Dem
ocratic candidate for Governor, of
course with no chance of success.
After 1850 his poems succeeded one
another at regular intervals. He con-
tinued writing poetry and contributing
to HGpc7's Magazine, the atlantic
Monthly, and other magazines until
1874. From 1869 TO 1881 he resided in
Brooklyn.

He was the author of many serious and
strikingly beautiful verses. Among
these may be named "Jerry the Miller, "
"I'm Growing Old, "The Old Church

witty and genial man, and was always
popular in society. His disposition
was affectionate and amiable.

The Scvthia Safe.

Sunday morning there was published
throughout the country "a Associated
Press telegram, based apparently upon
reliable authority, stating that the
Cunard steamship Scythia was in the
breakers off Scituate, Mass, with
eight hundred souls on board. 1t
is safe to say that that telegram
occasioned great anxiety wherever
il was read. Travel between this coun-
try and Europe has become so common
that whenever a great ocean steamship
is reported in trouble or overdue such
report suggests to nearly every one the
question, May not have friend on
the vessel Fortunately the cruel ru-
NOR that the Scythia had met with dis
asser proved TO be without foundation.
She arrived safe and sound at her dock
in Boston Sunday afternoon, and not
only had NOT been in tho breakers of
Scituate. but it appears now that no
other vessel had been there.

The Commission.

The gentlemen appointed by the pre-
siding officers of the two houses OF the
General Assembly 10 meet and confer
with the committee to be sent hither by
the creditors of the State are fairly re-
preventative of the talent and good
sense OF the two bodies. We know
that il may be charged that the com
mission will contend stoutly for paying
the lowest possible amount OF the debt
But in this they merely speak Tor
the people of Virginia. If sach
gentlemen agree to. a compromise
the people will almostsurely ratify their
agreement. 1t is well, too, that the
commission should be strictly repre-
sentative body, seeing that it would
be useless waste of time for the Legis-
lature to come to such terms with the
creditor as the voters at home would
not consent to.

In stating in their circular of last
Saturday what the Supreme Court of
the United States recently decided in a
certain case from Virginia, Messrs
JoHs A. HAMBLEros & Co. neglected
70 give the courts reason. The court
said:
"The demurrer 10 the plea is an adj
mission Of record that the coupon ten
dered in payment OF the license was
genuine and bore on It's face the con-
tract OF the State of Virginia that it
should be received in payment OF oil
taxes. debts, and demands due the State.
This, it is held, shows a good tender,
which brings this case within the rulings
OF the court in the former case"
In other words, by demurring the
counsel for Virginia admitted the cou-
pons 10 be genuine. Perhaps our Bal
timors friends do not know exactly
what demurrer is.
